Set Free

No perverse wind it is that blows
The curtain back from Paradise
But Spirit’s breath from Him who knows
The truth we need to end our night.

In Eden’s East we’ve too long breathed
The breath that’s foul from deep beneath–
The smoke of hell that ‘round us wreaths
A serpent’s coil that binds our feet.

As down we look to our feet bound,
Our mind is fixed on Satan’s lie,
And beat of noise the only sound
We hear that drowns our mournful cry.

Oh, who will save us from this fate
We so deserve from Adam’s sin?
Then Spirit comes, He’s never late,
And by Him we are born again. 

We see that death with Son brings life
To us as we to Cross look up,
Hear angels sing–are bathed in light
And eat with Him who bids us sup.

His sinless Body and His Blood
From Tree of Life and knowledge give
His truth to cleanse Baptismal flood–
Prepares us with our Father live.

Now hand-in-hand with Him we go
As families we are meant to be–
Forever live with Him and know
His truth forever sets us free.
